The magic of the holidays, some would say. In Cubjac, a small town located near Brives-la-Gaillarde in Dordogne, a happy event knocked on the door of this family, where Pascal became a grandfather twice during the same day which will now remain engraved in his memory forever. As reported by our colleagues from France Blueon December 26, 2023, this 59-year-old man, living in the Dordogne for 12 years with his wife, saw his destiny change in a few hours.
Her two pregnant daughters, Noémie and Aurélie, were initially due to give birth two weeks apart, but the magic of the end-of-year holidays would have it otherwise since they finally gave birth on the same day, the day after Christmas.. “Noémie, who was due to give birth on the 25th, entered the Périgueux maternity ward on the 23rd. But the little one didn’t want to come. On the morning of the 26th, I arrived at my quiet construction site saying to myself: ‘I’m going to be a grandpa soon !’“, says the man who became a grandfather twice in a few hours at the microphone of France Blue.

That day, Pascal is far from suspecting that he has already become a grandfather. “My other daughter Aurélie, who is in Mons-en-Barœul in the North, calls me, she says: ‘Grandpa, are you happy?’. I tell her oh no! It’s not done yet!”continues Pascal. “She answers me: ‘But no dad, it’s me! I gave birth last night at half past three in the morning!'”he remembers with astonishment, the birth of his second daughter being normally scheduled for around January 7, 2024.
Good news never comes alone, it only took a few hours for this young grandfather to see his happiness double. While Pascal has no time to recover from his emotions, his other daughter, Noémie, who is at the Périgueux maternity ward, is also preparing to give her dad a nice gift. When receiving the photos of her nephew, Léandre, who has just been born in the North, Noémie senses that something is up. “And then, when I received the photos of the little one, I broke the water and the work began.she confides to France Bleu.
